Catalysts - Akira the Don, Terence McKenna

Catalysts to say, what has never been said

To see what has never been seen

To draw, paint, sing, sculpt, dance, and act

What has never before been done

To push the envelope of creativity and language

And what’s really important is, I call it the felt presence of direct experience

Which is a fancy term which just simply means we have to stop consuming our

culture

We have to stop consuming our culture

We have to create culture

Don’t, don’t, watch TV, don’t read magazines, don’t ven listen to NPR

Creat your own roadshow, the nexus of space and time where you are now is the

most immediate sector of your universe

And if you’re worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else

then you are disempowered

You’re giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic

media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y

This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking

That, that, that is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your

friends and your associations, your, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes,

your plans, your fears

And we’re told, «No.»

We’re unimportant, we’re peripheral.

Get a degree,

get a job, get a this, get a that.

And then you’re a player

You don’t want to even play in that game

You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural

engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash

that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world

Where is that at?

Where is that at?

Where is that at?
